"If a terror incident has been claimed by TTP it still doesn’t mean that it has been carried out by TTP." Spokesperson KP Government
He claimed that he was a member of Tehreek-e-Taliban also.
People of Sawat are protesting against TTP, but Spox of KP Government is defending them
KP govt spokesperson blames attacks on ‘splinter groups’ opposed to TTP talks
‘Good Taliban, bad Taliban’
Meanwhile, KP government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif claimed that militant groups opposed to the talks were active against the government in the province.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, he maintained that the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan was not behind every incident of terrorism and must not be linked to all of them. He claimed during the peace talks, it had been agreed that the TTP would claim responsibility for any act of terrorism.
Mr Saif ‘elaborated’ that the Taliban’s Gandapur group was active in Dera Ismail Khan, Hafiz Gul Bahadur group in North Waziristan, Daulat Khan group in Kurram, Wali Khurassani group in Khyber and Mohmand and Hafiz Kochwan group in Bajaur and Dir districts.
The blame for the attack on PTI MPA from Lower Dir Malik Liaquat had been pinned on the Kochwan group. These were the groups that had splintered from the TTP owing to their opposition to negotiations with the government, he alleged.
